I had my first encounter with an inappropriate question from a complete stranger. Some woman in the waiting room at my Ob's office asked me if I took fertility meds. 😳
ETA: You wouldn't believe how often people ask if twins run in my family or MH's family when we're out with all four kids. First, MH's family history doesn't matter. Second, yes there are multiple births in my family but that has nothing to do with the reason we have two sets of twins (I leave out the last part because that invites too many prying questions). I'm tempted to print up FAQ sheets.
Two sets of twins? Yes, 17 months apart.
Twins run in the family? Yes
Are they natural? None of your business.
Were they born naturally? Also none of your business.
Are you breastfeeding? See prior two answers.
Two boys? No, a boy and a girl
Identical? Um, no. Boy and girl.
Fraternal or paternal or maternal? *blink blink* Fraternal.
[Congratulate my husband on his fertility.] That's not the way it works, people.
You must have your hands full. Yes, I do.
Did you try for twins? Yes, it's just more efficient to have them two at a time.
I always wanted twins. Good for you.
Better you than me. Obviously.
You must be lucky. I think so.
Bless you! Thank you.
You look great! This is kind of awkward, but thanks.
They're adorable. Thank you :-)
Did I miss any of the major points?
Lol! I love this. You should definitely print it out to hand out to people.
